You can put this solution on YOUR website!
what is ln2+ln x = ln5 +ln(2x+2) what does x =
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "ln(2) + ln(x) = ln(5) + ln(2x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "We can write this as
\n" ); document.write( "ln(2x) = ln(5(2x+2))
\n" ); document.write( "ln(2x) = ln(10x + 10)
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 10x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "2x - 10x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "-8x = 10
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10/-8
\n" ); document.write( "x = -1.25; no solution \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
